Default Re: Inboard hydraulic steering setup

Hey Jeff, I put a seastar on mine last spring. Thats the project I made the mistake of measuring once and installing twice [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] . Anyways I will have to find a boat-us catalog to tell you which set-up I used if you want to know. The hardest thing getting used to for me was the extra turn of the wheelI believe from 3 turns lock to lock to 4 turns. Its awesome though!!! Ill look at work tomorrow-

Craig, thanks, if you can tell me which SeaStar cylinder you used it would help, I referenced Sea Star #1-HC5312, Model BA125-7ATM with 3/8" Nylon reinforced hose with SeaStar 1 Standard Helm...sound familiar???

Hey Jeff, thats the one I ordered. I just checked it in my boat us catalog. They have all the specs on the different helms and cylinders combinations. Any other questions I might be able to help with let me know. I did have a little trouble getting it bled down and it is a messy job to boot.Routing the tubing I ended up having togo thru the same hole on the starboard side that wiring etc, goes thru and then down centerline in order to make it fit/work good. My bilge blower on the port side also had to be moved slightly to allow the cylinder rod to move. Good luck- you will be very happy you did it,I was. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
